In silence they both watched the sun as it sank. She held his hand in both hers. When she could no longer see the sun she turned to him, and said:
With a prodigious effort he raised himself in the bed, and, throwing out both his arms towards her, cried in a voice of agony and love: "Marion! Marion, my wife--my dearest! My wife, Marion!" and then fell back, to see the sun no more.
Dr. Rowland heard that cry, and hurried upstairs. He knew what had happened. He took her by the hand.
"Come with me, child, come with me;" and saying these words he led Marion away out of the chamber of death.
